We were delighted to welcome Katie Grant back to school this year to speak to Primary 7 pupils about writing, and story, and ideas, and the power of words.

Belle's Song is Katie's newest book and has only just been published. This one is set in the time of Geoffrey Chaucer and looks at his life from a rather different point of view, as the heroine Belle joins a pilgrimage to Canterbury....
